It's raining here, so this picture was taken indoors in a hurry, so the quality isn't the best, but here it is.
I found this one on Ebay
A Buck 111 Classic, it was described as "unused and unsharpened", and I have learned to hold my breath a little on those descriptions sometimes, but this time the seller was dead on!
It has a blade stamp of ".111.." which if I understand right means it was made in 1980 (or did the 111's use a different system than the 110's?. This knife does not show one trace of use, and still shaves hair from my arm. No wear or scratches of signs of polishing, it appears to be truly MINT! And the sheath is also, no creases or stress marks at the fold of the flap, and the belt slot doesn't have any signs of ever having a belt put though it.
My winning bid was $52.00, which I've seen them go for less and more both so I feel I did OK, was that a good price?
